Jason Kendall

[jealousblues]

Maybe im wrong, but it was my presumption that this guy was a good player...3-4 years ago. Is this correct? Wasnt he supposed to be a kind of power hitter, or am i way off base? Now he is completely worthless.

ive never owned him so i hadnt payed too much attention.

Whats the deal, or was mu innitial impression wrong?

[slomo007]

He was good, you are right. He now is not, however. Fantasy wise he is completely worthless unless it's an all California team league. Even then....

Power hitter
He was a high OBP type player who could nab double digits in steals. His steals have declined in Oakland.

[PlayingWithFire]

high batting average, high OBP, good game caller, steal bases. Never had much power

In the late 90's to 2001... He was on average about a 315. avg. 410 obp, 10 homers, 15 steals.... He even had a 112 runs one season.... Those are awesome #s from the catcher spot... Those days are long gone.

He did hit a home run last week his 1st in like 900 + ab's or something

[jealousblues]

lol, i knew he was a good player at least. SO what happened to him? I had saw he hit his first homerun since like 2004 the other day. I had a good laugh, I mean guys like David Eckstien has a couple a year. I suppose thats just not somethign he even tries for.? If I remember correctly didnt he have a kind of big contract?

Baseball Prospectus said (on the cover...) "Jason Kendall, stick a fork in him".

Actually, Kendall DID have power. But it wasn't 4 years ago, it was more like 8. He hit for pretty good power from 1998-2000 but lost his power when he sustained a brutal injury.
